Failed to Absolute Pythagoras

It took two days to watch a movie "Oxford Murder",
an abstract language thing. About symbols, about numbers, about philosophy.
Pythagoras, the philosopher who first discovered the universality of mathematics; at the same time, as Selton said in the movie, is the reality reflected by loyalty to numbers absolute? Regarding absolutism, this is a necessary and sufficient condition to determine that Pythagoras did not make further breakthroughs, and it is also an important card when members of the Pythagoreans succumb to the theory of root 2 that they had killed.
Reality is messy, and none of us know what is real. Martin said he believed in pi, the golden section, and the sequence of numbers. But the sequence of the same conditional prefix can keep up with N suffixes. Which is real? Either, because no absolute same condition can lead to different results. It's very interesting, this seems to be subtly affecting something, and every move about you seems to represent a precognitive purpose like Go. What an apt metaphor for the butterfly effect. A single butterfly flapping its wings can even cause a hurricane across the ocean. Sadly, no one can predict a hurricane. A geographical common sense, a manifestation of philosophy.
Rather than saying that this film is a symbolic thing, it is better to say that it is the embodiment of a philosophical thought. Although there are certain holes in the plot and some far-fetched connections. But what he wants to express is a teaching about reality, about process.
But these are the ways they choose, a reasoning with strong theoretical underpinnings, a complex inquiries. Imagine if they could treat everything calmly, what would the result be? The hearts of the people can be all ... no doubt!

The Oxford Murders quotes

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Seldom: "The butterfly that flutters it's wings and causes a hurricane on the other side of the world." Sound familiar? Are you that butterfly, Martin?

  • Martin: I believe in the number pi.

    Arthur Seldom: I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. Uh, what was it you said you believed in?

    Martin: In the number pi, in the golden section, the Fibonacci series. The essence of nature is mathematical. There is a hidden meaning beneath reality. Things are organized following a model, a scheme, a logical series. Even the tiny snowflake includes a numerical basis in its structure, therefore, if we manage to discover the secret meaning of numbers, we will know the secret meaning of reality.
